Britain's What's On Event Guide
St Cuthbert's Catholic Church, Durham
Heritage Open Day: Visit this simple, peaceful church to rest a while or to see the stunning window by the world-famous Irish stained glass artist Harry Clarke or works by the late renowned local sculptor Fenwick Lawson. Completed in 1827, and approaching our 200th birthday, St Cuthbert's Catholic Church is in a part of Durham that was often called 'Popish Elvet' because of the number of Catholic residents. The church is a hidden gem opposite one of our architect Ignatius Bonomi's other major works - Durham's Crown Courts! Although the church is simple in its architecture, it contains a spectacular stained glass window by the Irish artist Harry Clarke.
